Criminality in Block Chain Technology - Preventive Actions?

in technology •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemers!

I've talked to some friends at university about Block Chain Technology. Just basic stuff about the technology itself and how it will restructure our Society and way of living. And we got into the subject of Criminality and how it will affect this type of technology.

I would just like to discuss this topic with you guys and how Criminality will affect this amazing technology.

What points are relevant to discuss(File-distribution, illegal networks etc.)? Where can the technology be attacked and in what way?

we got into the subject of Criminality and how it will affect this type of technology.

1.) scams that prey upon the innocence of investors, this one keeps happening.
2.) phishing again, preying upon innocents or gullibility to get something they can get into your wallet. innocent people are a favorite to scam since they are usually new to this blockchain thing.
3.) fake sites made to look like real sites claiming to be from 'x' exchange with the logo and a link that looks like its the site but instead of being x-company.com instead its x-company.com.supercoolscamer.net (note the last part of a url is the real end point of the link and the begining can be any arbitary custom baloney.
4.) somehow chinese keep getting into areas of the internet by hacking a lot more then others, they once had warehouses farming for world of warcraft 'gold', you never know if they are also filling warehouses with desks and hackers looking for bitcoin wallets to get into.
5.) quantum computers, this might break the back of 90% or more of the current coins out there due to how fast they could bruteforce into them, most blockchain coins are not quantum proof as I've gathered, i could be wrong but this is what I've read.

Also I think I remember your handle from twitter.
